Justice Takes Time

Victims of unsolved murders get revenge

A Novel by David Armstrong

The Story

The voices never rest. They whisper of their pain, their stolen lives, and their unpunished killers. For decades, no one listened—until now.

In 1968, Dr. Jules Harvey defied the rigid halls of Harvard and took a position at Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane, a place shrouded in eerie silence. The asylum was pristine but soulless, its patients drugged into oblivion. But Dr. Harvey had a gift—and a curse. She stopped the sedation, opened their minds, and uncovered chilling truths hidden in the fractured psyches of the asylum’s inmates. Their stories weren’t mere delusions. They were confessions from beyond the grave—murdered souls trapped in the echoes of time, begging for justice.

Fast forward to the present: Joyce Davenport, a hardened senior crime scene investigator, is haunted by the cold cases she can’t solve. But her latest investigation is unlike any other. It links a trail of murders spanning a century, all with evidence that no living person could have left behind. The clues are precise, the knowledge impossible. Someone—or something—is helping her, and the truth threatens to unearth horrors she’s not ready to face.

When Joyce reaches out to the now elderly Dr. Harvey, she uncovers a shocking revelation: the victims themselves are revealing their killers, their voices piercing through time to seek vengeance.

The past is calling, and it won’t be silenced until the guilty pay.

About The Author

David Armstrong is a dad of three kids and a husband to a wonderful wife. He has lived multiple lives in one. Growing up in a small town near Philadelphia, serving in the US Air Force, serving as a combat veteran, then a corporate drone and tech entrepreneur. He is a first-generation American. He has never given up on what should be. He defines himself as a former rebel, now a renegade.

David has a strong sense of justice. He doesn’t really know where it came from, but it has been with him ever since he was a young boy. His earliest memories are of debating with someone about what should be. He would always then, and even now, get the advice or response of, well, that is how it is. He despises this response. He has never given up but has failed more than he has succeeded in his pursuit of justice. He does know, good or bad, he has always been willing to try.
